More evidence that our society devalues children
A Grand Rapids, Michigan station publishes a news story that has me fuming!
HART, Mich. A 19-year-old woman whose infant son died after being left in a hot car was sentenced to two years of probation.
Sabrina McClure was sentenced Monday by an Oceana County Circuit Court judge.
Her three-month-old son, Michael Anthony McClure, was left inside a car for more than seven hours June 20th.
He died of hyperthermia.
McClure pleaded no contest in March to a charge of second-degree child abuse.
McClure was ordered to pay 120 dollars in fines and costs.
She must also pay a ten dollar supervision fee for each day she is on probation and attend mandatory parenting classes.
Why are we doing this?? Is it because the murderer is a woman? Does she get a special pass on behalf of the NOW organization and those who fight for the rights of the criminal and callous? It just seems like loonacy that killing or harming a child is treated so lightly, as if a dead baby is so insignificant. I find it soaked with such disregard for the victim. Are we losing our sense of what is right and wrong? Is it all politically motivated, instead of doing the right thing, sentencing comes down to soley keeping the contituents in mind? Whatever it is, society is failing infants and children in which we have a moral obligation to protect from this kind of stupidity and brutality. Probabtion is an insult to anybody who cares about how this infant died.
